Level 12
: 600/1,200, 200 ante
The hijack opened to 2,500, James Anderson called from the cutoff, and Shaun Deeb three-bet shoved from the button for what looked like about 13,000. The original raiser folded, and after some consideration, Anderson called to put Deeb at risk.
James Anderson: 
Shaun Deeb: 
Deeb was racing for his stack and needed to improve in order to double up. Neither player connected with the 
board, so Anderson took the pot to eliminate Deeb.
